Well it’s finally happened. After years of juice world and fetty wap my 20 year old has seen the light and suggested this to me the other day … and long may it continue.
Music from your kids

I’m too old to know what “juice world and fetty wap” means, and I’m afraid to look it/them up in case I’m led to an unusual part of t’interweb, but thanks for introducing me to Glass Beams.
They’ve got an interesting way about them, although after listening to a longer performance from them (below), I wish I could hear more vocals. I like the overall sound, but as with a lot of largely instrumental bands there does seem to be a tendency for their music to sound a bit samey after a while. I will have to investigate further.
The use of sitar on the backing tape reminded me a bit of Blancmange.
My son watches a YouTube channel where every video ends with a clip from this. It’s now a firm household favourite:
I reckon Glass Beams is the missing link between the Swedish band GOAT and Angine de Poitrine from Canada. I enjoyed ‘Mahal’.
also looping in Kruangbin.
I think you are, quite correctly, making a musical connection @Vulpes-Vulpes . However, Khruangbin are bereft of face coverings which was the main thrust of my comment.
I agree … maybe with a bit of thievery corporation sprinkled on
Can’t make my mind up about Glass Beams, I like them better than that Canadian duo, but would I be able to sit and listen to and album’s worth of tunes I don’t know. I will give them another listen or two.
Sorry @atcf that Yiddish thing is a big no.
I have 4 kids, and none of them give 2 proper hoots about music – yes they stream and cherry-pick but it’s background to them.
My fault I suppose – kids will tend to rebel against their parents ways (until they realise their parents might have actually had a point), and a room full of vinyl & CDs, visits to HMV and Record Fairs, p was obviously not how they saw their futures
Have heard lots of pretty excellent new music through my daughter: Billie Eilish, Faye Webster, Rex Orange County etc. Much of this was from 2 or 3 years, she is now 19 (almost 20) and is much more into rap, which I am not so enamoured with, but Tyler the Creator’s Igor is pretty great (she has seen him live twice).
She also likes Beatles, Zombies, Beach Boys, Lou Reed, Cure, Smiths and Arctic Monkeys amongst other stuff, makes me very proud!
It sounds as though your daughter has inherited your interest in music and a curiosity to discover new artists @dai.
I saw Faye Webster out of curiosity at Roskilde last summer and was very taken by her low-key, very personal style.
But Not Kiss is a wonderful song about the simultaneous desire for intimacy and the fear of dropping your defences. The steel guitar player in the band is used very effectively.
Thanks, to be fair she gets that from her mother too @Kaisfatdad
Yes, lovely song
Youngest has migrated from Buddy Rich aged 17 to LTJ Bukem at 19 to Tokyo pill and break core now. I have added Digweed, Sasha and other classics of prog house to his playlists.
Tokyo Pill et al is Good working music and each track is about 90 seconds long.
break core
WTF?
I have my daughter to thank for this…fine reward for introducing her to Ella Fitzgerald.
That was wonderfully silly @mikethep.
At Roskilde last year, my son took me along to see Baloji who was excellent.
I took him to Seu Jorge and that was also a big success.
“Dad, have you heard of an old singer called Robert Smith?” – 20 year old daughter.
She then sent me this.
